What kind of a strange life trajectory are you on when the month of your life you are convicted and sentenced (for drug dealing) and put in prison for 3 years, there brand new that same month, in your new digs, just out and hot off the presses are nude pics of your son, hanging, as it were, in all his glory on the bunks, ceilings and cell walls of your new friends and acquaintances?

Quietly holding candles, hundreds of clergymen, congregants and reform advocates lined the sidewalks outside Joe Lieberman's Stamford home Sunday night in a show of support for universal health care.

Rabbi Fish of Beth El, in Norwalk, calls on Lieberman's conscience to do the right thing. His invocation of the Torah commandment (Lo taamod al dam reakha, "Do not stand idly by the blood of your neighbors") was especially poignant.

"The moral imperative for our time is clear. Anyone whose guide in public policy is conscience, anyone who argues that faith and religious traditions should direct our actions, such a person must stand for universal health care in America," Fish concluded. "It happens we are all also citizens of Connecticut. That fact leads us to ask you Senator Lieberman, what is it that you stand for?"

Republicans -- who denounced, dithered, then delayed investigations of the Sept 11th attacks, the war in Iraq, and the govt response to hurricane Katrina -- now want to push for immediate congressional inquiries into the Fort Hood shooting.

Look! Squirrels!

Rethugs now denouncing immediate congressional inquiries into Fort Hood upon news that shooter Nidal Hasan is a conservative.

From out of all the misstatements, narcissism, spin and distortions that make this biography so embarrassing to read, one indisputable fact emerges: It's pretty clear ex-governor Palin would still be a low-profile politician in the frozen north, but for candidate McCain and his staff. Those would be the same folks she attacks so fiercely in this biography.

This "memoir," co-written with Lynn Vincent, is one of the most disturbing books I've ever read. "Going Rogue" appears to be addressing a checklist of grievances that Palin has been nursing just about all her life. Palin's emotional and intellectual development seems to have stalled out somewhere around tenth grade.

I have to say that this book really scares me. If 40-odd percent of Americans believe that she is right to be number two in office the world has big problems.

As a serious read about politics in America, this book best serves as toilet paper or kindling. As a hysterically funny look at the rantings of a pathological narcissist and why the Lunatic Wing of the far right must never, ever be allowed to hold power or even reproduce, it's the best political satire since Al Franken or Molly Ivens.

The sheer level of disrespect Going Rogue has for its readership is astounding. It, like the author, assumes that Americans are idiots, too dumb to see through the lies and spin.

So what if Sarah Palin didn't write this book? Even God used earthly scribes to write the Bible.

… hurrrr derp derp derp …

Bonus: the book is full of so many fabrications and delusions that Andrew Sullivan's blog has gone silent in order to sort through the mess.

“It’s all THEIR fault! They were mean to me!” whines complaining whiny dumbass.

The "You betcha" lady is no more. In her memoir Sarah Palin introduces a new voice, and it’s that of a chronic complainer. So much so you want to shout at the pages, "Man up, woman!"

The news from the book has already spilled, and it is essentially this: John McCain’s senior aides were mean to her. Katie Couric was mean to her. Her critics, who are by definition supposed to be mean, were mean to her. But rather than come back swinging, she comes back whining.

Bonus quote from the article: “Possibly even more audacious than her belief she was qualified to be the person a heartbeat away from the presidency is her conviction that she was a superior comedy writer to those on Saturday Night Live.”

Double-bonus quote: “Obviously headquarters was so distraught at how badly the [debate] prep was going that they were looking for something, anything, to make her brain work.”

Majority of voters consider the whiny-ass quitter an unprincipled jerk and not fit for office, hate America.

Over half in a new ABC News/WaComPo poll have an unfavorable opinion of Mooselini overall, as many say they wouldn’t consider supporting her for president and more – six in 10 – not only see her as unqualified for the job, but unqualified to give a blowjob.

“I don’t think she’d be able to stop yakking, for one thing,” said a respondent.

Fifty-three percent say they definitely would not vote for Palin if she were to run for president in 2012 or Miz Redneck at the 2010 Cornpone Harvest and Sheep Buggering Festival in Nascarr, Idaho.

Intensity is against her as well: considerably more see her “strongly” unfavorably, 34 percent, than strongly favorably, 20 percent.

Obviously not including the ‘McCain campaign backstabbers that sabotaged her’ (poster at freeretardic today), seventy-six percent of republicans view her favorably. Preferably poolside, in a stars-and-stripes bikini.

President Obama “some kind of deviated prevert, organizing some kind of mutiny of preverts.”

The NY comPost says Lou Dobbs and CNN boss Jonathan Klein had been ‘publicly feuding’ over the kind of “reporting” the bloviating douchenozzle was doing on his show – namely stories about and support for the dumbass "birther" movement. After numerous memos and talking-tos, Dobbs chose quitting over getting his fucking act together, the cocksucker. And good riddance.

The future Faux anchor went on his favorite nutwork yesterday, saying CNN shitcanned him because its top execs didn't want to offend President Obama. The half-senile crank made the claim last night on Fux’s "The Falafel Factor," saying CNN was OK with him taking on Bush's immigration policy: "I discern more of a difference between then, which was under the Bush administration when I was criticizing, and now, when it is the Obama administration -- and an entirely different tone was taken," said Dobbs, completely overlooking the fact that he’s turned into a peevish wingnut conspiracist who used the once-respected network to expound on utter proven bullshit.

I mean honestly, the next step would have been harangues on how the Obama Administration is really part of a Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, certainly without any choice.. That's the way a hard-core Commie works.

Idiot.

Hopefully there’ll be a video out once Hitler finds out Lou Dobbs got fired. Um, quit.

"The choice of photo for the cover of this week's Newsweek is unfortunate. When it comes to Sarah Palin, this 'news' magazine has relished focusing on the irrelevant rather than the relevant. The Runner's World magazine one-page profile for which this photo was taken was all about health and fitness -- a subject to which I am devoted and which is critically important to this nation. The out-of-context Newsweek approach is sexist and oh-so-expected by now. If anyone can learn anything from it: it shows why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, gender, or color of skin. The media will do anything to draw attention - even if out of context."

It is rather ironic to hear her whine considering the outlandish attacks she herself has made. She used her looks to advance herself and garner votes from day one. Why the hell is she complaining now?Earth to space caribou: What do you think is worse, sexism or accusing a US senator of essentially being a terrorist?

”Some” fear Fux Nooze fears that the Bush misadministration will be the target of the 9/11 trials held in NYC. Please. Why, just because they pooh-poohed all of the outgoing Clinton team’s warnings, then totally ignored the August PDB that warned “Al Qaeda Determined to Attack in the US,” and stayed on vacation? Come on.

The latest nontroversy by rightwingnuts: ‘Obama forgot to put a flag pin on his teleprompter’ or something.

The knuckledragging hypocrites of Powerline on the President’s visit to Japan: "Every time Obama goes abroad, he embarrasses himself and sells out his country."

Oh really.

Well, at least he hasn’t bombed the holy bejeebus out of anybody based on a lie. Some comments from the intarweb:

Has he given any back rubs or thrown up on any heads of state yet? Get back to us when that happens.

Everyone knows the only proper way for an American President to greet foreign leaders is for him to drop his pants and wave his dick around in their face, all while screaming "AMERICA FARK YEAH!!! WHAT NOW, BIATCHES!!!" at the top of his lungs. Doing absolutely anything else makes us look weak in the eyes of our enemies.

It was Rahm's idea. They want all the Republicans screaming about this instead of the new bill he's got going through on Monday. It is called the "Taking Guns From Whitey In Order to Enslave Their White Daughters As Sexual Servants for The ACORN Workers Manning the FEMA Camps Holding the Christian Dissenters Act of 2009"

I hope it never goes public that Obama uses white toilet paper.

I'd like to go on record saying that I, along with all other non-lunatic Americans, do not feel sold out.

Sarah Palin (R-WATB) went after the AssPress on Sunday, accusing them of engaging in "opposition research" and “tearing up” when fact-checking her forthcoming book, “American Quitter’.

Palin goes adrift, at times, on more contemporary issues, too. She criticizes President Barack Obama for pushing through a bailout package that actually was achieved by his Republican predecessor George W. Bush – a package she seemed to support at the time.

Fun factcheck: she’s done a metric bitchload of whining and complaining, but she hasn’t refuted any of the points they’ve made.

The highlight of the event is the speech by "Robert Erickson," a "concerned citizen from Minneapolis." Erickson launches into what seems like a standard red-meat anti-immigrant speech. His real intentions are betrayed only by a slight smirk. It is only when he accuses immigrants of spreading disease and then indicts them for "killing millions" with smallpox that it becomes clear that the immigrants he has in mind are the European conquerors of North America and their descendants.

Grotesque playboy Newt Gingrich -- who left his first wife while she was in hospital suffering with cancer, cheated on his second wife, and is now on his 3rd wife -- does a video in support of 'traditional marriage.'

Newt dumped cancer-stricken 1st wife. When his pastor criticized him for not supporting his two kids, he left the church. Newt dumped 2nd wife after cheating on her with the Congressional aide who is now his 3rd wife. The scandal sidelined Newt in 2008. Until now.

Bonus: the group responsible for the video originally wanted serial adulterer and drag queen Rudy Giuliani.

The Gross Old Perverts party is shocked that the public is pissed off at them for voting against Al Franken’s anti-rape amendment.

Privately, GOP sources acknowledge that they failed to anticipate the political consequences of a “no” vote on the amendment. And several aides said that Republicans are engaged in an internal blame game about why they agreed to a roll-call vote on the measure, rather than a simple voice vote that would have allowed the opposing senators to duck criticism.

As BarbinMD writes, “Seriously? They voted against an amendment that was prompted by the brutal gang-rape of a young woman by her co-workers while she was working for a company under contract for the United States government, after which she was locked in a shipping container without food or water, threatened if she left to seek medical treatment, and was then prevented from bringing criminal charges against her assailants. And they failed to anticipate the political consequences?”

After the disastrous Bush residency the GOP had the option to go crazy or rethink their strategery. Guess which one they chose.

By the time the make-believe cowboy retired not to Photo-Op Ranch, but to the Dallas suburbs, his approval ratings hovered in the mid-20s. That they were so high testified to GOP team spirit. But what on earth were Republicans smoking?

Courtesy of Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Rep. Michele Bachmann, Limbaugh and a passel of pusillanimous GOP congressmen, we're definitely finding out. With the alternatives being rethink or go crazy, much of the GOP base has chosen the comforts of delusion…

Egotististical douchetube Emmett Tyrrell at towndump.com: “Well, that did not take long! Just weeks after initiating a war of words with Fox News and being exposed as an admirer of Chairman Mao's, Anita Dunn, the White House communications director, is stepping down. I intimated as much a couple of weeks back, when I lumped her in with two other Obama administration zanies who were forced to resign…”

Reality: God, you’re a fuckwit. It was made clear from the start that Ms Dunn would only take the position on interim basis:

"She's actually stayed longer that we could have imagined," White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said. “She's been clear throughout that the fall was supposed to be her end date."

“I fully appreciate the importance of ensuring that everybody in America has a fair trial, you fucking commie," Col. John Galligan should have answered.

That wasn't quite enough for Blitzer. Before the interview ended, the CNN anchor said of Hasan, "I'm sure he will get a much fairer hearing than those 13 Americans who were brutally gunned down the other day. I'm sure he will get all of the rights that are applied by the military code of justice."

Galligan bristled. “The difficulty that I have, of course, is when people end discussions with me with references like the one that you just made."

"I oughtta come over there and strangle you with your own nutsack, you unAmerican little asshole” he should have snarled.

The simpering pantywaist was put on notice by his own state and party for taking the term “teabagging” the icky, not-sanctioned-by-Jeebus way.

Graham has angered conservative activists for his criticism of “tea party” protesters and others who have sought to impose a strict ideological litmus test on Republican lawmakers. The local chair said, “The feeling is if you’re not going to uphold the platform, then why bother to run as a Republican?”

Graham's office snippily pointed to the senator being "ranked the 15th most conservative senator in 2008 by National Journal." So THERE.

American International Group Inc. Chief Executive Officer Robert Benmosche told the insurer’s board of directors that he may quit because of government limits on what the company can pay employees, according to a person familiar with the matter. Benmosche’s salary is $3 million in cash, $4 million in shares, and as much as $3.5 million of long-term incentive awards.

Don't let the door hit you in your sagging, pock-marked ass on the way out, fucktard. Poor bastard, how WILL he pay his bills?

Idaho lawyer and repuglican Blake Hall loses his job after he stalked and lobbed used condoms at an ex-girlfriend's house.

Blake Hall, a leader in Idaho GOP and national politics for almost 25 years, was fired Monday as deputy prosecuting attorney in eastern Idaho. He also resigned from the Republican National Committee.

Hall began a 15-day jail sentence Saturday and was also sentenced to a year of supervised probation after pleading guilty to stalking his former girlfriend and, on numerous occasions, tossing semen-filled condoms onto her lawn.

“When he gets out of the hoosegow a couple weeks from now, he joins Ex-Senator Larry Craig in the unemployment line. And the Idaho Hall of Shame.”

As wingnut conservaturds gain power in the GOP they're alienating women. Not to mention blacks. And Hispanics. And young people, poor people, and hell, you know what -- they're alienating everybody but rich old white guys and total dipshits.

Last week, Rep. Pete Sessions (R-eprehensible) suggested that women who complained that their gender was designated a “pre-existing condition” by some insurers were on a par with smokers because both groups incur higher treatment costs.

“Damn feminazis should be raising kids instead of opening their whore mouths when men are talking,” said Sessions, who runs the National Republican Congressional Committee — which is tasked with recruiting new female candidates.

A Rushthuglibot Congressman was seated next to a little girl on an airplanewhen he turned to her and said, 'Let's talk. I'veheard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with yourfellow passenger.'

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and saidto the total stranger, 'What would you like to talk about?' 'Oh, I don't know,' said the congressman. 'How about globalwarming or universal health care', and he smiles smugly.

OK, ' she said. 'Those could be interesting topics. But let me ask you aquestion first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass.Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty,and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?'

The southern legislator, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'

To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified to discussglobal warming or universal health care when you don't know shit?

The New York comPost editor fired after speaking out against a cartoon depicting the author of the president's stimulus package as a dead chimpanzee has sued the paper. And as part of her complaint, Sandra Guzman levels some remarkable, embarrassing, and potentially damaging allegations.

Guzman has filed a complaint against News Corporation, the New York Post and the paper's editor in chief Col Allan in the Southern District Court of New York, alleging harassment as well as "unlawful employment practices and retaliation."

As part of the 38-page complaint, Guzman paints the Post newsroom as a male-dominated frat house and Allan in particular as sexist, offensive and domineering. Guzman alleges that she and others were routinely subjugated to misogynistic behavior. She says that hiring practices at the paper -- as well as her firing -- were driven by racial prejudices rather than merit.

And she recounts the paper's D.C. bureau chief stating that the publication's goal was to "destroy [President] Barack Obama."

NY republican Dede Scozzafava, dissed by her own party, has had it up to HERE with those assclowns, vows revenge:

Scozzafava attacked Palin, R-Quitter, for endorsing the Conservaturd Party candidate, Doug Hoffman, even though Hoffman doesn't even live in New York's 23rd congressional district: "Do these people even know who they are endorsing? WTF?"

She also had this message for rethugs who are vowing to bring down moderates: "There are a lot of us who consider ourselves republicans, of the Party of Lincoln," she said. "If they don't want us with them, we're going to work against them."

The corpulent junkie: "We could almost say this is Obama's fault, because this guy said that he believed Obama was going to get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan."

Hmmmmm. We could also almost say this is Alexander the Great's fault, because he did such a crappy job of conquering Iraq and Afghanistan.

Or we could almost say this is GW Bush's fault, because Bush got us into Iraq and Afghanistan.

We could almost say this is the shooter's fault, because this guy is a total freaking nutjob.

We could almost say this is Rush Limbaugh’s fault, because he promulgates hatred toward Obama, Muslims.

We could almost say this is the psychic down the road's fault, because she never saw this coming.

We could almost say this is my magic rock's fault, because it did nothing to stop this.

According to Rush, it is Obama’s fault that a mentally unstable man shot 43 people last week. It is pretty safe to say that his upcoming deployment was not the only reason why this man decided to go on a shooting. However, Limbaugh’s Obama paranoia knows no boundaries. It is only a matter of time before Limbaugh starts blaming Obama for the weather.

Though it’s WAY TOO EARLY TO TELL, Lie-berman said that if reports from Fox Noise were true that Hasan had turned to Islamic extremism, "the murder of these 13 people was a terrorist act and, in fact, it was the most-destructive terrorist act to be committed on American soil since 9/11."

The Army's top officer, Gen. George Casey, wouldn't rule out that the shooting was an act of terrorism, but cautioned against speculation at this point. He expressed concern that it could result in a backlash against Muslim soldiers.

Casey also said the Army has made great strides in helping soldiers with mental health issues, and invited the Senator to make use of their program.
